"A friend in Pender county writes a
long letter giving an account of the recent
visit of Commissioner Robinson and I'm
migration Agent Patrick to Fender county.
The CHRONICLE had already published the
facts about the meeting and the crowded
condition OF our columns prevent the in
sertlon of the communication. We give
space to one sentiment: eff Commissioner
Robinson and our new State Chemist, Mr..
Battle, can break down the wall of sepa-
ration between the people and the Depart
ment, and can show the people that they
are, heart and hand, with the farmers and
for the farmers, they will render this De-
partment more useful and beneficial to tho
State than it has yet been. To this end
they can canvass the State and revive the
dropping cause of Agriculture, the better
for themselves and the State at large"
